The next day, the news of Nangong Mo's engagement being annulled spread through the streets.
"Cowardly, that's a matter of time. Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible for any daughter to marry that fool?”On the street, a middle-aged man sneered.
"But I heard that the person the prime minister's daughter likes is the crown prince. Why doesn't the emperor bestow a marriage?”Another person asked in a low voice.
"This isn't something that we can discuss. Be careful not to cause trouble.”The middle-aged man reminded him and the two of them walked away.
Mu Qingyi looked at their backs and sneered. She had heard such discussions more than once along the way from King Yu's Mansion.
Ignoring what the passers-by were saying, Mu Qingyi walked straight to the Ke family's pastry shop. She only wanted to buy some medicinal herbs to make pills and bring some food back for Nangong Mo.
When Mu Qingyi walked out of the Ke Family's pastry shop, she saw a group of people gathered in the alley not far away. She did not care at first, but she stopped when she heard the conversation between two people passing by.
"Why did he suddenly die? That's one corpse and two lives."
"Who knows? He suddenly stopped breathing. I don't know if he was possessed."
The two of them walked further and further away. Mu Qingyi did not listen to what they were saying anymore, but she knew what had happened at the entrance of the alley not far away.
Without thinking much, Mu Qingyi walked towards the alley.
After a while, Mu Qingyi had already entered the crowd. She saw a young woman lying on the ground. The woman's face was pale and there was no movement in her chest. There was no sign of her breathing.
However, when Mu Qingyi looked at the woman's slightly bulging belly, she could not help but frown. Without thinking, she squatted down, put the pastries aside, and began to take the woman's pulse.
After a long time, Mu Qingyi could not feel the woman's pulse. This made her frown.
"Young Lady, do you know medicine? This woman is already dead, you don't have to worry about her.”An aunty beside Mu Qingyi looked at the woman's pulse and kindly reminded her.
However, Mu Qingyi did not seem to hear the aunt's words. She continued to patiently search for her pulse, hoping to feel a trace of change.
When the others saw this, they could not help but start discussing. Some even suspected that Mu Qingyi was desecrating the corpse.
At this moment, Mu Qingyi's eyes lit up. She quickly took out a silver needle from her sleeve and stabbed it into the woman's heart without thinking.
"Young lady, you look quite beautiful. Why are you so ruthless?”A voice of accusation came from the crowd."He's already dead, but you still want to stab him with a needle.”
"Yes, desecrating a corpse will result in retribution.”
The crowd began to discuss one after another. Mu Qingyi frowned more and more. If she could, she really wanted these people to shut up quickly. They were really pedantic and noisy.
"How are you?"
Just as Mu Qingyi continued to perform acupuncture on the woman's major acupoints, a panicked voice came from outside the crowd.
Then, the crowd loosened a little, and an honest man wearing a linen shirt walked in. When he saw Mu Qingyi inserting needles for the person on the ground, he could not help but say angrily,""What are you doing to my family?”
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi's hand paused for a moment, but she did not stop. If she stopped, it might really end up with one corpse and two lives.
"The one in my family is already dead. Why are you so cruel to torture him?”The honest man was completely enraged. He was about to step forward and pull Mu Qingyi away.
"Your wife is not dead. If you want to save them, you better be quiet.”Mu Qingyi's voice was cold as she spoke. Her eyes were cold.
It was unknown if it was because he was frightened by Mu Qingyi's cold voice or because Mu Qingyi's wife was not dead, but the honest man who was about to pull Mu Qingyi away stood rooted to the ground. The anger in his eyes slowly dissipated.
However, even though the man was obedient, the people in the crowd were not. They only mocked,"This girl is so young, but she already knows how to lie through her teeth.”
"That's right, she's already dead for half an incense's time, but she insists that she's not dead.”Another person echoed.
For a moment, the people in the crowd pointed at Mu Qingyi.
After struggling and hesitating for a moment, the honest man just squatted beside Mu Qingyi and looked at his house. He did not make things difficult for Mu Qingyi.
Mu Qingyi's mood improved when she saw this. Finally, there was someone who understood.
Thinking about it, Mu Qingyi no longer paid attention to what the crowd was saying. Instead, she focused on the woman on the ground.
"It moved, it moved, its eyes moved." The teacher suddenly shouted. His eyes were filled with excitement. Initially, he did not have much hope. He only thought that the girl in front of him seemed to have some ability, so he wanted to try his best.
The others all craned their necks to look, but the person on the ground was still lying motionless. There was no sign of life at all.
"It seems that he was too sad and confused. How can a dead person be saved?”
"What a sin. You can't let people live in peace even after they die.”
The crowd once again began to discuss, accusing the two men beside the young woman of disrespecting the dead.
"Ah, my finger moved." However, at this moment, a sharp-eyed person in the crowd suddenly exclaimed and broke the discussion.
Then, everyone looked over and saw that the woman's chest was heaving up and down. Her fingers moved slightly, and when they looked up again, her eyes seemed to be moving as well, as if she was about to wake up.
"He really brought the dead back to life.”There was a sigh from the crowd, and then the others began to echo.
When Mu Qingyi heard this, she could not help but reveal a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. If someone really died, she would not have the ability to find the King of Hell to extract her soul. The woman in front of her was just a temporary obstruction in her heart.
However, if he really treated a doctor who didn't know the truth, he would probably be dead. Thinking of this, Mu Qingyi couldn't help but praise her master in her heart.
"I don't know if this medical skill can cure my old cold leg.”A woman said with a face full of desire.
"He is a divine doctor. How big of a problem is your husband's cold legs? Will the divine doctor help you?”Another woman choked.
As a result, the few of them began to quarrel. The onlookers had already forgotten about the accusations they had made against Mu Qingyi.
Mu Qingyi ignored the noisy people and looked at the honest man beside her.""She's fine now. You can take her home to rest. Remember to stay in bed for three days.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, divine doctor, for saving my family.”The man kowtowed to Mu Qingyi excitedly.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi took out two pills from her pocket. She stuffed one into the woman's mouth and gave the other to the man. She said coldly,""Give her this pill tomorrow.”
As she spoke, Mu Qingyi stood up and glanced at the pastries that had been trampled on the ground. She turned around and walked out of the crowd, ignoring the praises from the people.
At the corner, a palanquin was parked there. The person in the palanquin looked at Mu Qingyi's departing figure and his eyes flashed. Then, he looked at the black-robed guard beside him.
The person in the sedan chair did not speak, but the black-robed guard understood his master's meaning. He nodded and headed in the direction where Mu Qingyi had left.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
